An Arkansas man accused of a double murd3r was arrested mid-haircut in a dramatic scene captured on security cameras at a local barbershop.
Andrew James McGann, 28, was taken into custody on Wednesday, July 30, in Springdale, Arkansas, United States, just days after police say he fatally shot a husband and wife in front of their children.
Surveillance footage shows McGann pulling into the barbershop’s parking lot, casually exiting his car, and walking through the entrance. After taking a seat in the barber’s chair, he began chatting with the stylist about how he wanted his haircut. Moments later, the video cuts to a team of plainclothes officers entering the shop and placing McGann under arrest, cape still around his shoulders as his haircut was in progress.
Authorities allege that McGann killed Clinton and Cristen Brink on Saturday, July26, while the couple was hiking with their daughters at Devil’s Den State Park in West Fork, approximately 22 miles south of Springdale. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Arkansas State Police have charged McGann with two counts of capital murd3r. He is currently being held without bail in the Washington County jail.
ABC News reports that McGann had recently been hired as a teacher in the Springdale Public Schools district for the upcoming academic year. He had not yet started his role, and officials confirmed that he will no longer be employed by the district.
